Modulation of renal injury in <i>pcy</i> mice by dietary fat containing n−3 fatty acids depends on the level and type of fat
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Low-fat diets and diets containing n-3 fatty acids (FA) slow the progression of renal injury in the male Han:Sprague-Dawley (SPRD)-cy rat model of polycystic kidney disease. To determine whether these dietary fat effects are similar in females and in another model of renal cystic disease, in this study we used both male and female pcy mice to examine the effects of fat level and type on disease progression. Adult pcy mice were fed 4, 10, or 20 g soybean oil/100 g diet for 130 d in study 1. In study 2, weanling pcy mice were fed high or low levels of fat rich in 18:2n-6 (corn oil, CO), 18:3n-3 (flaxseed oil/CO 4:1 g/g, FO), or 22:6n-3 (algal oil/CO 4:1 g/g, DO) for 8 wk. In adult pcy mice, low- compared with high-fat diets lowered kidney weights (2.4 +/- 0.2 vs. 3.1 +/- 0.2 g/100 g body weight, P = 0.006) and serum urea nitrogen (SUN) (9.6 +/- 0.6 vs. 11.9 +/- 0.6 mmol/L, P = 0.009), whereas in young pcy mice it reduced renal fibrosis volumes (0.44 +/- 0.04 vs. 0.62 +/- 0.04 mL/kg body weight, P < 0.0001). FO feeding in young pcy mice mitigated the detrimental effects of high fat on fibrosis while not altering kidney size, function, and oxidative damage when compared with the CO-fed mice. In contrast, DO- compared with CO-fed mice had higher kidney weights (2.64 +/- 0.07 vs. 2.24 +/- 0.08 g/100 g body weight, P = 0.005), SUN (9.4 +/- 0.57 vs. 7.0 +/- 0.62 mmol/L, P < 0.0001), and cyst volumes (7.9 +/- 0.28 vs. 6.2 +/- 0.30 mL/kg body weight, P < 0.0001) and similar levels of oxidative damage and fibrosis. The FA compositions of the diets were reflected in the kidneys: 18:2n-6, 18:3n-3, and 22:6n-3 were the highest in the CO, FO, and DO diets, respectively. Dietary effects on kidney disease progression were similar in males and females. A low-fat diet slows progression of renal injury in male and female pcy mice, consistent with findings in the male Han:SPRD-cy rat. Dietary fat type also influenced renal injury, with flaxseed oil diets rich in 18:3n-3 slowing early fibrosis progression compared with diets rich in 18:2n-6 or in 22:6n-3.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
